    MP 7,1 10 pin sata power max power limit?

    The Mac Pro 7,1 has a 10 pin socket that is used to power 2x sata drives. Does anyone know the power limit for this? I’d like to use it to power 4x drives with a custom cable of course. Hopefully it can handle ~90W?

    Caldigit TS3 Plus, only 60 watt with M1 Max MacBook Pro?

    Has anyone a similar problem with the TS3+? I have my whole setup connected to a power strip and I turn it off when I don't need it.

The 9.7 Pro had a traditional 2A, 5V USB specification while the original 12" Pro required more oomph, but I'm unable to find what the new Pros need. Those of you who...
